Nuestra historia

Carolina & Bobby, husband and wife.

Carolina is a self-taught cook with Michoacán roots who left accounting to cook. They started as a pop-up inside a local Hawaiian spot, and in 2023 opened a kitchen of their own.

  • Carolina runs the kitchen and every recipe in it.
  • Bobby, "Papa", pours the craft cafecito: horchata and piloncillo lattes, cortaditos.

I tend to believe in people more than I believe in myself most of the time… So I'm just grateful that people believe in me and my vision, and that they enjoy my food.
